HP LaserJet 5100dtn, and is an available accessory for the
HP LaserJet 5100 and HP LaserJet 5100tn. For ordering
information, see page 9.
You can use the embedded Web server to view printer and network

of from the printer control panel or printer management software.
The following are examples of how you can use the embedded Web
server:

•
determine the remaining life for all printer supplies
•
access a link that facilitates ordering printer supplies for your
printer
•
view and change the input tray configurations
•
view and change the printer control panel menu configuration
•
print internal pages or view that information from your Web
browser
•
view and change the network configuration
You must have an IP-based network and a Web browser. The
embedded Web server does not support IPX-based printer
connections. You can use the embedded Web server with Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5.0 and above or with Netscape Navigator 4.7 and
above.

the Address or Location field in your Web browser.
